SUMMARY:Hunting exoplanets with the ESPRESSO spectrograph
DESCRIPTION:Hunting exoplanets with the ESPRESSO spectrograph\nDr. Pedro Fi
 gueira\n\nThe search for extrasolar planets is one of the fastest-growing 
         fields of astronomy. This rapid growth was both made possible by  
        the development of instrumentation and motivated it, creating a    
      virtuous cycle that impacted positively several fields of         res
 earch.\nIn this talk I will present the latest planet-hunting         spec
 trograph ESPRESSO, installed at ESO's VLT. Targeting a         radial velo
 city precision of 10 cm/s, ESPRESSO has the declared         goal of detec
 ting an Earth-mass planet inside the habitable zone         of a main-sequ
 ence dwarf star. I will discuss the first results,         ongoing campaig
 ns, and reveal a bit of what the future holds for         us.\n
